Unless you're standing right next to the wall or in a corridor you'll probably have a chance to dodge it but I guess that promotes timing it right.
[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;48053964]But he does this really loud weeb chant before casting it.[/QUOTE]
How can he be a weeb if he's Japanese?
Does Hanzos ultimate damage enemy buildings? It would be great for taking out sentries and teleporters if it did.
Good question. I assume it would but who knows. Let it loose into a room with a teleporter and things might end up nasty for the enemy team.
[QUOTE=Anderan;48047641]I'd say maybe make the self repair thing take longer to get into and out of but it would require balancing since if it takes too long it just wouldn't be worth it.[/QUOTE]
The repair rate ought to be a lot slower. He should have to find a nice place to hide and use it, like the Sandvich.

Also, that's everyone, so they might update the site with new characters pretty soon here.
Zarya looks really fun to play as, but I'm curious as to what that number is around her reticle? A charge gauge or something? It starts at 0, raises when you block stuff with your shield(?) up to 100, then lowers? Also, does she shoot her laser only when shielded or is it some kind of alt fire?

I think she gets bonus damage from damage to her ability based shields, which is what the number represents.
[URL="http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/19810802/overwatch-news-status-active-6-30-2015"]The official Overwatch news site is up.[/URL]
Right now, it has info about [URL="http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/19810803/play-overwatch-gamescom-2015-6-30-2015"]the game's appearance at gamescom[/URL] and [URL="http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/19809235/experimental-weapon-stolen-from-watchpoint-grand-mesa-6-30-2015"]an attack on a former Overwatch base.[/URL]
Why is there STILL no info on that cyber ninja, was he removed from the game or something?

Cyber ninja? What are you talking about?

The ones that haven't been shown at all are the fat guy, and the cyber ninja on the far left.
There's also this that has a TON of characters that were never shown

They're probably saving the cyber ninja's reveal for later, and I'm sure the other characters we've seen but know nothing about will be revealed in the future as well.

I find it odd that Bastion and Zenyatta are in that image since their bios on the Overwatch site don't mention any affiliation with Overwatch.

I automatically assumed that everyone in the game has something to do with Overwatch whether they're members, former members, or enemies of Overwatch.
But widowmaker and reaper are not in the image and Phara and Symmetra have nothing to do with overwatch other than Phara having wanted to join it. I think the most Overwatch itself will have to do with the game is showing the world after the organization has disbanded or perhaps it will be reformed. Assuming of course Blizzard develops a story to the setting which I assume they will.
Anyways that image was the one in the overwatch museum in the cinematic trailer so I would just assume it would only include actual members of overwatch.

reaper is in that image. look at the top right.

The only people in the top right are some guy in orange armor and a blonde woman.
[URL="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/616652828359012352"]Thanks to the official Twitter,[/URL] we have our first good look at (the back of) the mysterious attacker of Overwatch bases, now being given the name "Soldier: 76".

It could be a derailed motorcycle race driver
I wonder if he's connected to Reaper since his bio says he's targeting former overwatch operatives.
[QUOTE=Anderan;48101257]The only people in the top right are some guy in orange armor and a blonde woman.[/QUOTE]
He has dual shotguns and a concealed face. Depending on how long ago that artwork came out it might be an early version of Reaper.

I'm pretty sure those are just spikes coming off of his armor.
Kinda neat that he hails from my home state. I guess if he really is 76 then he's out to get the people responsible for the fall of Overwatch.
So a generic military shooter guy on a class based game?
I dont know how to feel about this.
There's already generic cliche heroes, and the generic soldier one is over the line?
He still seems pretty interesting mechanically anyway. What's the issue?
Eh, good point.
I guess its for military fps players who are trying to get into class based shooters.
I see nothing wrong, it's a good way for new players to get used to the mechanics and learn the objectives without getting too crazy. Plus, sometimes it's nice to have a Mr. Average with no big gimmicks or unique abilities.
also i'm a sucker for sci-fi guns with blue bullety things
Something else of note-- 76 got an origin story video, too.
